Countfire vs Trimble Estimation Desktop: Which is best for you?

the way it counts across drawings is great, the way you can side by side documents to assess changes in specs etc is brilliant, and how you can override drawings with new stages.

When making the same two zones across multiple plans e.g exterior and interior to separate CCTV systems, the generated spreadsheet does not show you a total for each zone across all plans only a total per zone for each plan, this means you have to manually add them up which is quite time consuming

I purchased every single piece of hardward brand new, from what the rep described would be the BEST laptop for their software.

I've owned this product for less than 30 days, it has been completely inoperable for the previous week and a half, that's 10 days, including weekends, that our company's estimating department has been down, and Trimble could care less.
